Brown wood slab grips riveted to the exposed tang, steel pommel with locking button, plain steel scabbard with frog hook. Blade 18Â½ inches in length, the bayonet 23Â½ inches overall. No maker&#acute;s mark to the spine of the blade “ it may have been removed by polishing. The ricasso of the blade is stamped on one side with a clover-shaped Portuguese inspection mark. The hilt is stamped faintly on one side with &#acute;another clover inspection mark and on the other side with &#acute;J668&#acute;. The exposed tang is stamped with &#acute;7&#acute;. The throat of the scabbard is stamped with &#acute;NN63F&#acute;. The frog stud of the scabbard is faintly marked &#acute;WG&#acute;, a Steyr factory mark. The M1886 Kropatschek rifle proved to be reliable and had a long service life - while it was replaced by the 1904 Mauser in the Portuguese army it was used by colonial units in WW1, issued to the Portuguese Legion during the Spanish Civil War, and was still in use by colonial police as late as the 1960s. Its bayonet was one of the last to make use of the &#acute;yataghan&#acute; downward-curving blade.

South African Lee Enfield No. 9 Bayonet, With Uzi Blade. Description These bayonets were manufactured in South Africa by ARMSCOR or one of its contractors during the 1960s, using spare blades originally made by FN Herstal for the Uzi submachine gun: unfullered with a spear point and diamond profile. They were issued with the Lee Enfield No. 4 rifle to local defense groups collectively called the Commando System. These military reservists/militia were formally part of the Army but typically deployed as part of police actions, acting to secure more remote areas or where the police needed reinforcement. This example is complete with its South African pattern brown leather frog with buckled retaining strap and brass rivets. The bayonet retains its original blued finish with no edge damage, the scabbard is free of dents with only tiny spots of wear to its black lacquer.

Taiwan M1 Garand Rifle Bayonet. Circa 1950. #2410021. After its split with China in 1949, American firearms became the staple of the Taiwanese infantry, particularly the M1 Garand rifle and M1 carbine. This bayonet is a 1950s Taiwanese variant of the WW2 American M1 Garand rifle bayonet. It is identical to the American model except for the ricasso markings.The 250mm single-edged blade has a deep single fuller and a flat spine that terminates in a double-edged spear point. The blade is in excellent condition and retains its original black finish.The ricasso is stamped with the Taiwanese manufacture roundel and 60-6 KS.The blackened crosspiece and pommel are in good condition, retaining their original finish, and the press stud mechanism is in good working order. The black plastic grips are in good condition and are secured firmly.The bayonet is complete with its American M1 scabbard. The scabbard is of WW2 vintage and was probably suppled along with an M1 rifle and bayonet, that was subsequently replaced with a newly made model. The US markings have been removed from the scabbard locket, probably by the Americans prior to export to Taiwan, as the provision of arms to the newly estranged island was initially quite clandestine.This is a good example of a historically significant Taiwanese Mi Garand rifle bayonet, produced in the early years of Taiwan’s independence from China.

German WW1 Trench Knife. Nahkampfmesser. #2511006. German WW1 nahkampfmesser, meaning “close combat knife,” come in a variety of similar styles and by various makers. Most have a steel scabbard with a leather belt loop and retaining strap. These knives were usually private purchase items – as was the case with the allied forces, and many are without maker’s marks.The 137mm single-edged blade has a 70mm upper false edge that is sharpened for the last 40mm. The blade has a raised medial ridge and terminates in a spear point. The blade retains its fighting edge and is in used/worn condition with some cleaned, shallow pitting and sharpening wear. This knife has had an active life.The hardwood grip scales are in good condition and are secured to the full width tang by three rivets.The knife is complete with a WW2 Hitler Youth or Scout scabbard, which may just be a convenient replacement, but may also indicate that the knife saw service again during WW2, a hand-down from father to son perhaps? The scabbard is in good condition and retains most of its original black paint.This is a worn and honest German WW1 fighting knife.

Indian 1907 Pattern Mk III Bayonet, by Ishapore. Description Plain unfullered knife blade with clipped point and 2-inch false edge. Wood grips secured by two screws, squared pommel with oil hole. Black leather scabbard with iron throat and chape, khaki canvas frog. The bayonet is stamped on one side at the ricasso with the Tudor Crown, also known as the Imperial Crown for its use throughout the British Empire, &#acute;G.R.I&#acute; (Georgius Rex Imperator, meaning George VI, who was the last Emperor of India until its independence in 1947), &#acute;MkII&#acute;, the bayonet model, &#acute;9 43&#acute;, meaning the bayonet was manufactured in September 1943, and &#acute;R.F.I&#acute;, meaning the manufacturer, the Rifle Factory Ishapore. It is stamped on the other side with three Indian inspection marks. The scabbard leather is stamped next to the seam with &#acute;W&#acute; indicating that the leather was impregnated with wax as part of the manufacture process, and &#acute;ca1942&#acute; indicating that it was manufactured by the Government Harness and Saddlery Factory at Cawnpore in 1942. The throat piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;C^320&#acute;, with ^ being a broad arrow War Department mark. The chape piece of the scabbard is stamped next to the staple with &#acute;E.E. 41&#acute;, indicating it was manufactured in 1941 by a different contractor. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkIII due to its squared pommel, but the stamp shows &#acute;MkII&#acute;. Incorrect factory stamping is a known phenomenon with Indian bayonets, as well as failing to add stamps for conversions, factory repairs and so on. See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson, p348 and 351: they write that it is particularly common to see MkIIIs stamped as MkIIs. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified from the original 1907 Pattern design: the MkIII differed from the MkII in having a squared pommel and straight grips (without the curve to the belly of the grip found on other 1907 Patterns). The blade is clean and bright with an even finish and no edge damage. It has been blued at the ricasso and on the hilt, tang and pommel “ the pommel shows some wear to its blueing with some patches of light pitting. A few dents to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only a few very small dents to its surface. The chape piece of the scabbard has some patination. The throat piece of the scabbard has extensive pitting leaving a rough surface, and has rusted through at one spot on its reverse side creating a small hole. This is hidden with the frog in place.

The scabbard leather is faintly stamped &#acute;43&#acute;, indicating that it was manufactured at around the same time. The reverse of the canvas frog has been written on with &#acute;HEGGIE&#acute;. You may notice that the model stamp is incorrect “ this is certainly a MkIII due to its squared pommel, but the stamp shows &#acute;MkII&#acute;. Incorrect factory stamping is a known phenomenon with Indian bayonets, as well as failing to add stamps for conversions, factory repairs and so on. See British & Commonwealth Bayonets by Skennerton & Richardson, p348 and 351: they write that it is particularly common to see MkIIIs stamped as MkIIs. The scabbard is noticeably longer than it needs to be for the bayonet “ it is a full-length No.1 model. These bayonets were made to fit the many SMLE No. 1 rifles made at Ishapore. Over time Indian bayonets became progressively simplified: the MkIII differed from the MkII in having a squared pommel and straight grips (without the curve to the belly of the grip found on other 1907 Patterns). The blade has some grinding marks from manufacture, and one small area of cleaned pitting toward the tip on one side. Small areas of patination to the hilt, hilt and pommel largely retain their original finish. Some small dents to the wood grips. The locking button is fully functional. The scabbard leather is good with only small bumps and abrasions to its surface. Some storage grease may remain in the scabbard.

English Plug Bayonet by John Hathaway, ca. 1690. Featuring tapering 11 ½” single-edged wedge-section blade, double-edged for the last 5 1/4″. The forte is deeply stamped on one side with the Blazing Star mark assigned to John Hathaway by the Worshipful Company of Cutlers of London on September 26, 1689 and also an unidentified King's Head mark (KH18 in R.D.C. Evans' “The Plug Bayonet”). While the King's Head was a mark used by Solingen makers Weyersberg and Wundes, this mark is clearly different, as all the German Kings Head marks are left facing profiles, whereas this one is right facing. The brass hilt is of the type known as the Winged Figure Series in Evans' book and the slightly upturned quillons and pommel both feature this three-dimensional figure. The grip is of turned walnut with a brass ferrule at the base and tapering crimped pommel cap with integral winged figure finial. Overall length 17 5/8″. Blade with light pitting, hilt and grip near excellent. A very fine example of a classic English plug bayonet of the period of James II and the ascension of William of Orange. Another example by this maker, formerly in the 2003 catalog of Peter Finer, Ltd. is currently being offered by a UK dealer for 2825 British Pounds (nearly $4000 USD).

British Lee-Enfield No. 9 Knife Bayonet. Description Single-fullered bowie blade with clipped point, steel socket with locking mechanism. Steel scabbard with circular frog stud and brass throat piece secured by a screw. Khaki canvas postwar frog with unstitched slit for the stud. The No. 9 was the last model of bayonet produced for the Lee Enfield No.4 rifle, and followed the No. 7 rotating bayonet with a mechanically simpler attempt at a bayonet that was also useful as a knife, using the No. 7&#acute;s blade and scabbard but attached to the simple forged socket of the wartime No. 4. The locking button is stamped with a broad arrow. The socket is stamped on one side with &#acute;F5&#acute; over &#acute;B&#acute;. The reverse side of the frog&#acute;s belt loop is inked with markings, but these are so faint as to be illegible. The blade has some spots of patination and of cleaned pitting, including pitting at the tip on one side. Its edge has been sharpened. The bluing of the socket is intact apart from rubbing at raised edges, and the band of bluing remains at the base of the blade. The scabbard has two small dents and one larger dent on the reverse side, its bluing is likewise rubbed in places.

Siamese Type 46 Bayonet. Description Single-edged, fullered knife blade, steel hilt with muzzle ring, wood scale grips secured by two rivets, steel pommel. Blued steel scabbard with frog hook. The ricasso is stamped with Thai script &#acute;à¸£,à¸¨,à¹‘à¹’à¹‘&#acute;, which translates to &#acute;R,S,121&#acute;. This means Year 121 of the Rattanakosin Sok, the era proclaimed by King Rama V in 1889 to have begun in 1781, the year in which his great-great-grandfather Rama I acceded to the throne and Rattanakosin (now called Bangkok) became the nation&#acute;s capital. RS121 is therefore 1903 in the Gregorian calendar, the bayonets were produced until 1908 but all were stamped with the date of the model&#acute;s adoption. These bayonets were produced in Japan for the Siamese military and fit the Siamese Type 46 rifle. Seeking to modernize its military at the turn of the 20th century to stave off colonial powers, Siam managed to buy a license to build Mauser’s Gewehr 98 rifle. Since it lacked the manufacturing capability, the actual production was contracted out to Japan’s Koishikawa arsenal, which resulted in the Type 46, a rifle along the lines of the Gewehr 98 but with additional features from the Japanese Type 35 produced by the same plant. The components were assembled in Bangkok with technical assistance from the Japanese, and this may have been true of the bayonets as well, which are modified versions of the German 84/98 bayonet.
